Braddock Redux

UnSmoke Systems Artspace is a project of Braddock Redux. The mission of Braddock Redux is to mobilize teens, young adults, and like-minded people of all ages from both within and outside the community for the purpose of the overall betterment of the Braddock area through training opportunities, art initiatives, green initiatives, employment opportunities, the creative re-use of existing structures, and through the flexibility to respond to other opportunities that arise.
